FASHION’S CHANGE
ENGLAND’S BIG DOG SHOW PEDIGREES POPULAR POWDERING THEIR PETS (Blec. Tel. Copy right--United Tress Assn.) I Australian <md N.Z. Cable Association.) LONDON, Sept. 30. Six thousand dogs of every conceivable breed, from tiny four-ounce pampered pots to Alsatian wolf hounds and blood hounds, assembled for the annual show at Crystal Palace. Dog breeding has developed amazingly since the war. The kennel clubs’ total registrations in 1914 were 55,000. The show demonstrated that pedigree animals had superseded mongrels as pets, but that fashions had changed noticeably. The entries of terriers, the poor man’s dog. had fallen off, but 500 A.satians and 600 toy dogs were exhibited. Hundreds of pretty girl exhibitors wore to be seen washing, brushing, and powdering their pets prior to the judge’s inspection. One tiny Papillion, which was kept in a glass case as small as a hatbox. was valued at £350.
